How to add someone to a project in Perno Company

A step by step guide to adding someone to a project in Perno Company.

Adding colleagues to a project in Perno Company gives them access to the project and its non-private tasks. Except for account owners and company administrators, users normally see only tasks belonging to projects they have joined. Project membership and task assignment are managed separately, so you can first give someone access and then assign specific responsibilities.
